Abstract
The present invention provides exercise attachments for modifying an inclinable weightlifting system using a user's body weight. A pair of vertical support devices providing rigidity and elevate the weightlifting system off the ground to aid in a user mounting and dismounting the system. A pair of adapter arms enable a user to tailor exercise attachments to target specific muscle groups and specific regions of that muscle group. The pair of vertical support device and pair of adapter arms may be incorporated into an inclinable weightlifting system to enable a user to perform various rowing and bench press exercises.
Claims27
An exercise system for increasing resistance in an inclinable exercise device user-manipulated weightlifting system using a user's body weight, the system comprising:
- a. an elevating device including:
- i. a frame having a pair of parallel legs longitudinally connected with a detachable crossmember, wherein each parallel leg has a distal end connected to a sled and a proximal end connected to a receiver, wherein the receiver has a geometry operable to receive the weightlifting system;
- and
- ii. a fastener operable to penetrate through said receiver's periphery sides and secure said weightlifting system to the receiver;

A method of modifying an inclinable weightlifting system using a user's body weight as resistance, comprising:
- a. An elevating device including:
- i. a frame having a pair of parallel legs longitudinally connected with a detachable crossmember, wherein each parallel leg has a distal end connected to a sled and a proximal end connected to a receiver, wherein the receiver has a geometry operable to receive the weightlifting system;
- and
- ii. a fastener operable to penetrate through said receiver's periphery sides and secure said weightlifting system to the receiver;
- b. an elongated exercise attachment arm including:
- i. a bracket comprising two parallel flanges having a through-hole at the center connected with a plate;
- and
- ii. an elongated arm secured to the top of said plate, wherein the elongated arm is fixed at an acute angle and has at least one through-hole thereon the central axis of said elongated arm;
- c. a user aligning said receiver of a first elevating device under a base ground of a frame of said inclinable weightlifting system, and rotatably and removably secures the elevating device to said weightlifting system with the said fastener, wherein said first elevating device carries the weight of the said inclinable weightlifting system and secures said frame in place;
- d. a user aligning said receiver of a second elevating device to an elongating ground of said inclinable weightlifting system, and rotatably and removably secures the second elevating device to said elongating ground with a fastener, wherein said sleds of the said second elevating device is operable to slidably engage with the ground allowing for a movable foundation;
- e. a user aligning said bracket of said elongated exercise attachment arms to a through-hole on said telescopic railing of said weightlifting system at symmetrical locations and securing the bracket with a pin, wherein the vertex of said acute angle points away from a center of the telescopic railing;
- f. a user securing an exercise accessory to said at least one through-hole of said elongated arm;
- and
- g. a user configuring the weightlifting system at the desired resistance level and mounting on top of a slidable pad between said railing of said weightlifting system to perform an exercise, wherein an exercise is dependent on the configuration of attachment arms and the direction of said vertex of said attachment arm.
